Toffee Pecan Crispy Rice Cookies

Toffee Pecan Crispy Rice cookies are chewy with just a bit of salty sweetness,

I made these cookies for my dad's birthday. He's a fan of toffee and I wanted to use the recipe formula from Food52 that I used for this cookie recipe.

My parents went sailing for a week on the boat my dad built. I would show you a photo of the boat but that disappeared when my iphone and I took a swim on July 4th.

So, I thought a batch of cookies would be a good gift because really, what do you buy for a man who knows how to build his own sailboat?

Serving Ideas

-These are great sturdy, little cookies to eat on a boat--one hand for the ship, one hand for a cookie

-Send with your kiddos with their lunch for school. These cookies will hold up no matter what your kid throws at them.

-Skip your high fiber cereal breakfast and eat a couple of these cookies with your morning coffee instead. You're not really cheating because these cookies have pecans--protein and fiber--and cereal, a breakfast food!

This is another easy cookie recipe.

Here are the steps:

1. Measure dry ingredients into a medium bowl.
2. Measure add-ins into a second bowl.
3. Mix butter, sugar, vanilla and egg in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
4. Add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined.
5. Add the mix-ins, kind of like you're at a froyo place.
6. Chill the dough for a few hours or overnight before baking.

Scoop out dough onto plastic wrap and wrap tightly.
